Yeah, there's a couple of stuffie houses out there that do manufacturing for comics/comics related merchandising. My friends Mel and James who do Two Lumps got stuffies made, and they're a teeny little (hysterically funny) comix team.

When I was publishing comics back in the early 90's we got approached by a lot of toy houses when we did shows like San Diego and Dragon, but all of out titles were "mature audience", and comic retailers were already catching flack at that period for carrying books like ours, (the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund had to defend a retailer for selling one of my books) and we didn't have any iconic characters like Sam and Max, so it wouldn't have made any real business sense.

But Sam and Max are iconic, they have a pretty big fan base, and it sure seems like there's enough of us willing to pony up (heck, I'll preorder), that Telltale could meet the minimums for most of the toy houses that do this sort of merchandising.
